Its nice to see Mitsu is willing to change the base platform for the Evo to something sleeker and more compact....but the damn thing looks like a Celica!

That car has a lot of the new eclipse in it, not that that is a bad thing but i would like to see the evo stay more close to its roots instead of it changing to look like a shitty future car. Just my opinon. -------------------- Up and running. For now at least.

Laugh I don't have any info on this - been avoiding info on IX and X models. I'll let ya know what I think when I get more info. The question now is MIVEC in the IX or not. -------------------- *... she likes bein' forced ...*

A sprinkle of focus, a dash of SRT-4, simmered over low heat to near perfection.......then set on fire with a blowtorch and burned to shit. -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM) thanks hcar....

Is the MIVEC what they're calling Mitsubishi's version of GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection)? I'd like to see them integrate that into the EVO, which there are some words rumored about it. More power, less fuel. I'd like to see more manufacturers going with GDI instead of those stupid hybrid vehicles anyway. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

Don't remember off hand the displacement but you could be correct on that one. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

They've been dabbling in it on non-production cars since '97. I have heard rumors that it may go into the Evo X coupled with MIVEC. Keep in mind those numbers in the article are only concept numbers for a concept vehicle. Nobody knows what the X is actually coming out of the factory with.
